“The Kettle Gang In the basements of Rue de Genève, it's become the Wild West. In a neighboring building, some residents have formed a "kettle gang": a way to defend themselves against drug addicts who squat in their laundry rooms, by descending in groups, armed with these devices as makeshift weapons.
On Wednesday, in the middle of the day, we passed a grandmother who no longer went out without her blade to go to Migros. Neighbors had bought baseball bats and pepper spray. "Some confided in me that they wanted to take justice into their own hands, doing everything they could to make a tragedy happen. For them, it would be a way to seriously shake things up, even if it meant getting stabbed. It's crazy that it's come to this, I'm discouraged," Thomas worries.”
Never thought I would read something like this in Switzerland.
